PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF NEGATIVE IONS

Blood Alkalization & Blood Purification

The Bio-Mat emits 600-1000 volts of negative potential at a speed of .001 amperes. The high voltage and low speed makes  the higher voltage totally safe and effective. This negative potential applied to the body ionizes the calcium and sodium circulating in the blood. This changes the blood pH into an alkaline state and has an overall alkalizing effect on the body. Proper blood pH, between 6.9-7.2 is essential for optimal health. Most individuals run acidic, that is less than 6.9, therefore compromising their health. It has been noted that negative ions applied to the body benefit stiff shoulders, headaches, insomnia, and chronic constipation.

Additional research by Dr. Tanaka, of Japan, show that when ionization is introduced to the human body, the ions of calcium and natrium (salt) increase in the blood. The blood is purified through increasing blood alkalinity.

Reviving the Cell

When the quantity of ions in the blood increases, the function of the cell is activated. The electrical material exchange speeds up the cell function and as a result nutrition is more fully absorbed by the cell, while waste materials are more effectively excreted. Cellular metabolism is increased and the function of the cell is gradually revived.

Diseases Associated with Ion Deficiencies

Too few ions in our body can cause a number of diseases, and may be detrimental to our overall health. Some health problems associated with an imbalance of ions in the body include anemia, allergies, shoulder pain, lumbago, rheumatism, neuralgia, headaches, kidney problems, imbalanced autonomic nervous system function, insomnia, and fatigue.

Delta Brain Waves Induction

Negative ions applied to the body via the Bio-Mat have been shown to induce a delta wave state within several minutes of usage. This greatly facilitates deep relaxation, reduction of stress, and improved sleep function. Those who have a history of poor sleep or insomnia may find the Bio-Mat very helpful.

Historically four major types of continuous rhythmic sinusoidal EEG waves are recognized (alpha, beta, delta and theta). There is no precise agreement on the frequency ranges for each type. General ranges are delta (0-4Hz), theta(4-8Hz), alpha (8-12 Hz), beta(12+Hz). Gamma rays are a fifth wave between 26-80 Hz.

Delta waves are present in stage 3 and stage 4 sleep and are associated with young age. Stage 4 Sleep or slow-wave sleep( SWS) is referred to as the "deepest" stage of sleep. Dreaming is more common in this stage than in other stages of sleep though not as common as in REM sleep. The content of SWS dreams tends to be disconnected and not as vivid as those that occur during REM sleep.

The Bio-Mat may enable a person to readily enter into a Delta wave state, thus facilitating much deeper sleep. Deep sleep states are the place where the body is best known to perform a variety of healing functions. Without adequate deep sleep the body has a hard time healing and repairing damaged and aging tissues. Aging sets in faster. Many use the Bio-Mat to check the aging process by ensuring deep sleep nightly.
